You can pick what search engines are sourced, which is fanatic, and it's fully anonymous. My preferred instance is disroot's (https://search.disroot.org) as they are a super trustworthy nonprofit in my book.
CryptPad is my go to, there's many different instances where you can make an account. Fully encrypted and allows for doc sharing plus working with others on the doc at the same time. Offline can be accomplished by ensuring you downloaded the file, and then uploading the updated doc once back online. It's the bee's knee's! https://cryptpad.fr/
So, ScheerPost is an award-winning independent news site focusing on progressive politics and human rights issues. They were a finalist in six categories at the L.A. Press Club's 66th annual Southern California Journalism Awards for work published in 2023. They ended up winning three of the six awards.
ScheerPost has always been a fantastic and dependable news source in my experience. Truly one of the last actual independent news outlets covering topics the mainstream propagandist media tries to obfuscate. Definitely worth checking out!
I mean, it's a part of his plea deal, so I felt of was relevant. Additionally, all the Wikileaks published data was old. However, it's government secretes, so we'd either have to wait a few decades for the Fed to release it, like with MK Ultra information, or have it published much sooner by Wikileaks. Regardless, hopefully if there is any unpublished information it was handed over by Julian to associates outside of Wikileaks so they could release it before the Fed is forced to do it.
The facts are it's an oligopoly which is rapidly moving towards pairing this with totalitarianism. Propaganda is so pronounced today that finding actual news is a chore, and if shared it's labeled as "fake news". A study was recently published demonstrating political moves are made without any care for how it impacts the masses. It's tough to see the decline happen in real time while most deny it's occurrence. Most are too focused on owning others in the working class with alternative ideals.
But in the U.S., the natural beauty is phenomenal. Yet it's being traded to allow conglomerates to squeeze more profit out of dwindling resources. If something doesn't change the course soon, this answer potentially could land me in prison in the near future. Which is counter to what the country was supposedly established to prevent. It's rough in many aspects, yet not entirely hopeless, at least as of this moment.
Not sources I know at all, just trying to provide something that an individual who thinks Scheerpost is Russian propaganda for some illogical reason will give more validity. All mainstream propaganda spins the story to paint the US as the hero, which alone should make you highly curious of the other side to the story.
But based on your user name, it makes way more sense a primative eukaryotic lifeform struggles to decipher the massive bias from mainstream news sources these days lol.
Ok, so you're super critical only to concepts which oppose the side of the story you believe to be true? Have you ever applied this same level of scrutiny to the information you approve of? Until this takes place, you can't logically be confident in your stance whatsoever. But, do whatever makes you happy, I won't argue against it. Yet it's ridiculous to write off anything in opposition just cause it's not as you understand it.
Here's the sources you more or less asked for, I made sure it's from mainstream sources seeing as you're opposed to independent media for whatever reason.
UK Government coving Ukraine in 2014: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9476/
Here's a NewYorker article covering it too: https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-john-mearsheimer-blames-the-us-for-the-crisis-in-ukraine
Pretty similar to the US invasion of Ukraine in 2014 where the President left in desperation to prevent his murder. Two wrongs definitely don't make a right, but after the US overthrew the country's government they should have understood they were going to encounter retaliation at some point.
The only real option worthwhile is to get nerdy and play the same game. Change up how and what you connect online as well as running security and privacy based open source firmware + software on your devices. Aside from that, protesting would be another option with some teeth too!
In Fedora? I've had one or two issues with the updater if I postponed the updates for a while, yet sudo dnf update always fixed the issue. I feel like thats step one for terminal use really. It's also nice when it's done this way you typically don't need to reboot, unless it's kernel or driver updates.
I feel like Mint is the move if you never want to utilize the terminal. But while it can be intimidating initially, after using it, you'll grow to love it. Truly makes life way easier. I learned by first finding threads on my issues to copy and paste commands. After doing that enough you'll gain an understanding of the main commands pretty quick. Fedora is a great starter in my mind, as you can do everything through the GUI when first starting, but unlike Mint, you can still get nerdy with the terminal when you feel up to it. Using a VM is a solid option to learn the terminal without any risk, worst case just delete the VM and make another. But you'd have to mess up pretty thoroughly to need to do that in my experience. Fedora, or Nobara which is a gaming and media centric fork of Fedora, are amazing due to the ability to run great out of the box plus being able to dial in anything you want to alter for your needs down the road. Fedora's Software center allows you to add flatpak and snap packages, so it'll all be in one place. Fedora 40 makes NVIDIA drivers pretty easy to deal with too. But this is just my two cents, I'm curious to see what others recommend for you.
The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they’re connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android.
Once again, Linux with a win!
